Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

It turned out that Wang Xiucai's family was the victims of the flood, and their fields and houses were all flooded.

Fortunately, my uncle took care of me and lent the empty house in the county to their family for a temporary stay.

It's just that the family has a large population, and they used to barely survive on the few acres of Susukida in the family. Now that the land is flooded, even if there is relief from the court, they still have to eat and worry.

The father and brother in the family went out to find work, and the mother and two sister-in-laws also went around to take on jobs to supplement the family. Even his older niece could help take care of the younger siblings at home.

He is the only one who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between food and grain, but he still gets the understanding of his parents and brothers at home. If he has good food and good clothes, he will be the first to follow him.

He felt very sorry, so he discussed with his parents and went out to find a job. As a scholar, he could always find a better job by relying on his ability to read and write.

But his family let him study at ease without worrying about housework.

If the family situation was better before, he could barely stay at home and study at ease, but with the current situation of the family, and the fact that next year he will have to go to the provincial capital to take the exam and it will cost a lot of money, how can he be at ease.

Since his parents did not agree with him coming out, he had no choice but to hide it from the family for the time being, planning to find a job and inform the family.

At this point, without Wang Xiucai's further words, Qi Qingxi also knew that he didn't find a job, and probably didn't even eat lunch.

She went to the back kitchen to bring a pot of tea, and ordered Master Fan who was about to take a lunch break to make another set meal for her.

Qi Qingxi poured a glass of water for Wang Xiucai, and gave him advice: "My younger brother has been copying books in a bookstore not far away, and what he copied is the Four Books and Five Classics. He can not only practice calligraphy, but also earn money, and also review it by the way. Homework, maybe you can try it too?"

Wang Xiucai took the water glass respectfully, and said with a smile, "Your brother must be young."

Qi Qingxi was surprised, this scholar can tell fortunes?

Seeing her surprised face, Wang Xiucai explained: "I used to copy books in bookstores before, and the kind boss would copy these books such as the Four Books and Five Classics for younger teenagers, like me. Generally, at a weak age, all you copy are some unofficial history books and travel notes, which are not beneficial to reading but disturb your mind, and you don’t make much money.”

Qi Qingxi nodded, that's why.

It just so happened that Aunt Osmanthus brought up the set meal, and Qi Qingxi pushed it in front of Wang Xiucai: "Please eat, thank you for your righteous words and fighting for our women."

When Wang Xiucai saw the meal of meat, vegetables and soup in front of him, he immediately stood up and bowed to thank him: "Thank you for your kindness, Miss, I am just telling the truth, I can't be thanked by you, I can't bear this meal."

Seeing his refusal, Wang Wanru persuaded him: "But not every man can say this kind of truth. If you can say that, it shows that you really think so in your heart. You are a person who respects women and deserves us. Thank you."

Wang Xiucai still refused, but Wang Wanru said again: "Okay, a man doesn't stick to trifles, it's just a meal, why bother to be so rigid."

She picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Wang Xiucai's mouth. Wang Xiucai was taken aback for a moment, then his face flushed slightly, he opened his mouth and let Wang Wanru stuff the meat into his mouth, and then sat down to eat obediently.

Wang Wanru sat on the side and watched Wang Xiucai eat, the more she watched, the more she felt that this Wang Xiucai was pretty and decent.

Qi Qingxi asked Wang Wanru if she came to see her for something, and then she remembered her purpose of coming today.

She came to Qi Qingxi to learn how to cook.

Because that day in Mr. Gu's courtyard, it was the first time she saw the cold Mr. Gu talking to other people in such a soft-spoken manner. She thought it must be because of the outstanding cooking skills of this cook girl, so she came here to think about it. Learn to cook.

But now she feels that there is no need for this anymore. Compared with Mr. Gu who is good-looking but always cold, there are too many interesting people in this world, such as this Wang Xiucai in front of her.

Speaking of which, it was also because she was used to comparing herself with Jiang Yulan since she was a child, seeing that Jiang Yulan was always pestering Mrs. Gu and she was not willing to show weakness, she felt that she had suddenly figured it out.

I also thought that if her father knew that she wanted to learn how to cook, he would definitely laugh at her for killing people, but it was too much. It would be better to cut vegetables directly at herself, so as to save the skin and meat in her hand of.

Thinking of this, Wang Wanru couldn't help laughing.

Qi Qingxi was puzzled by her smile: "What is Wanru laughing at?"

Wang Wanru said: "I originally wanted to come to you to learn how to cook, but my father often said that I can't do fine work, so I think about it and forget it."

Qi Qingxi didn't expect that Wang Wanru came to learn cooking from her. She remembered that in Gu Yu's courtyard that day, she claimed to be the cook invited by Gu Yu, and she couldn't blame Wang Wanru for coming to learn cooking from her.

Although Wang Wanru suddenly stopped studying, Qi Qingxi still let her come over whenever she wants to learn.

But now she has invited Master Fan to be the cook, and she eats in the shop most of the time, and actually rarely cooks.

Although she actually likes to cook, the days when she doesn't have to cook are really comfortable. If possible, she would like to ask someone else to take over her current job of calculating accounts at the counter, so that she will not delay making money. Have fun.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Xiucai in front of her is the best candidate sent by heaven to help her in this dream. He is looking for work everywhere, and she happens to be short of people to do work.

With a satisfied smile, Qi Qingxi stared at Wang Xiucai in front of him.

Wang Xiucai, who was eating, noticed that there were two eyes staring at him, one was Miss Wang, who had been staring at him since he started eating, and the other was the female shopkeeper, who seemed to be surnamed Qi, who suddenly stared at him for some reason. look at him.

For a moment, Wang Xiucai only felt like a cow was carrying a heavy weight. He wondered if it was because he was too rude to eat like a wolf, which caused the two girls to feel uncomfortable, so they stared at him.

He was about to stand up and make amends, Qi Qingxi said: "I am short of a accountant here, I wonder if you are interested."

Wang Xiucai stood up suddenly when he heard the words, then shook his sleeves and wiped his mouth, bowed to Qi Qingxi and said, "Of course, I am very interested."

But he hesitated again, knowing that due to the flood, it is difficult to do business everywhere, and he was afraid that Qi Qingxi wanted to recruit another person to help him in the store.

Seeing his hesitation, Qi Qingxi guessed his thoughts, and said: "You don't have to think too much, I really wanted to hire another person to help because of the busy business and lack of manpower. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ms. Wang, when she came just now, my shop There are many guests sitting there."

Wang Wanru thought about it and nodded, it was indeed the case.

But she didn't understand, now that the price of rice and grain has doubled and risen due to the flood, and everyone has no spare money to go out to eat, why the business in Qi Qingxi's shop is still so good.

Qi Qingxi didn't hide it from her: "Although the flood has affected the harvest and the price of grain has risen, there are no shortage of wealthy owners in Ansui County, and the price of grain does not have much impact on their lives."

She took a sip of tea and continued: "Plus, I happened to stockpile some rice grains and vegetables before the flood, so I wouldn't run out of vegetables to sell. And when I stocked these things, they were cheap, so I wasn't as successful as other stores." The price has been doubled, and the price will only be slightly increased according to the current cost. This last point, my kitchen chef is good, and the food tastes good. It is cheap and delicious, so there are naturally many diners."
